HUMOR OF THE DAY.

Il is strange, but true, that a woman

parasol closed -Neto HdUea Nesos.
1t is bad enough to break party ties,
but it isn't half so embarrassing as to
have them work around under your ear.

The rockers on a chair never stick out

A Harvard professor has made the cal
culation that if men were really as big as
they sometimes feel, there would be
room in the Unitod States for only two

The oldest ARMY Omner.

General Sherman was at the Ebbitt
House TO get shaved, and when about to
leave the barber's room was accosted by
a white haired gentleman who begged to
speak with him for moment General
sherman looked at him and tried to re-
call his name. 'I think have met you
somewhere" he said The gentleman
who accosted him then introduced him
self as Captain King, the oldest living
officer of the army. whe entered the SER
vice in 1918, fourteen years before Gen
eral Sherman entered the Military Aead-

the, Mexican war, and his "reminiscences

Severed Fingers.

We have spoken of skin grafting--the
process by which bits of skin from
healthy parts of the body, or from the
Body OF some self-sacrifcing friend, are
transferred TO an ugly ulcer, or an ex-
tensive and deep burn, and which, be-
coming centres of healthy growth, pro-
mote the healing, otherwise doubtful.
We have also spoken of sponge grating,
in which pieces of sponge are introduced
into gaping wounds, and with the blood
clot that fills the interstices, are rapidly
organized into flesh with all its proper
nerves and vessels.
More lately it has been found that
bone-g grating is possibility for healing
and restoration of destroyed bone, bits
being used somewhat as bits of skin are
used in skin-grafting. In the first in
stance, the physician was able to employ
bone from the severed leg of child;
subsequently he used with equal success
bits from kid killed for the purpose.
This method will need further testing.
But it has long been known that where
a portion of bone-it may be large
portion-has been lost, the intermediate
space will fill up with new bone, and
fully reunite the severed parts, provided

this, however, it is necessary that the
thin membrane which covers the bone
(periosteuml should have remained
sound.
In the Boston Medical and Surgical
Journal, a few months ago, DR.. Souther,
of Worcester, told of young man who
brought to him severed part of his
little finger, wrapped up in his handker-
chief. The doctor adjusted the piece

length-and, much TO his surprise, the
parts grew together, and the circulation

lie was called to boy, three of whose
fingers had be cut off by an axe. 1t
was three OF four hours before he reached
the boy. The fingers were cut clean off
from the middle oint of the first finger
to the root of the nail of the third.
While dressing them, the grandmother,
brought in the fingers, which she had
iust found in the snow.
Against his own convictions, he con-
sented to try to save them. He sue
ceeded, and saved all except about one
half the joint of the first finger in which
the blood failed to circulate. The boy

odd Bis of NaturaI History.

Mr.. Bradley, in his "Treatise on Ag-
riculture," states that 'two sparrows
during the time they were feeding their
young, carried in one week 1896 cater
pillars from cabbage garden to their
nest.
Caterpilar' eat about four times their
own weight in food every day.
Bats are useful as scayengers.
The song of the thrush is remarkable
for its mellow intonation and for the va
riety of its notes, and he is considered
by many as the foremost of woodland
songsters.
The name nightingale is derived from
two woods, viz: acht, night, and galan,
to sing. These birds abound in Turkish
cemeteries, it having long been a custom
of love TO keep these birds upon the
graves Of the dear ones gone before. The
male bird has no attra tions of personal
beauty; he must win purely on the merit

A well at Yskutsk, in Siberia, has
been standing puzzle to scientists for
many years. It was begun in 1928, but
given up at thirty feet because it was
still in frozen earth. Then the Russian
Academy of Sciences COZ tinued for some
months the work of deepening the we'll,
but stopped when it had reached to the
extent of some 3s2 feet, when the ground
was still frozen as hard as rock. In
1o44 the Academy had the temperature
of the excavation carefully taken at va
rious depths, and from the data thus OBJ
tanned the ground was estimated to be
frozen TO a depth of G12 feet As ex-
ternal cold could not freeze the earth to
such depth, even in Siberia, geologists
Save concluded that the well has pene-
trated frozen formation Of the glacial
AsrsOd which has never thawed out,

Catching Cold.

We are still greatly at sea as regards
the way common colds are induced,
says "Family Doctor" in the Practical
Farmer. They are caused, believe, IN
a great many more ways than we have
any idea of. The words, catching a
chill, " are to me entirely devoid of mean
ing. II by cold we mean a congested
state of the mucous membranes that line
the passages through which we breathe,
with discharge Of water therefrom, pain
in eyes and nose, tickling in the throat,
tenderness and rawness of chest, with
secondary symptoms in the shape of
general feelings of dulness of mind and
body, and aching of limbs, then l say
these symptoms may be produced in
many ways. Direct cold poured upon
the head or face, as in driving against the
wind, may produce them, so may the
breathing of damp. cold air or even of
fumes from some melting substances,
etc., that evolve irritating gases. Here
you have your cold produced in a me
chanical way. A cold may be taken
through the feet OF through the body, if
either be insutficientIy clad OF wet; but
this is not caused by the cold striking
up through or in through either, but by
causing depression of the nervous system,
and consequent congestion of the air pas
sages, in those subject TO such a com
plant. But cold may also be brought
about by indigestion or arrangement of
the liver, or temporary weakness of the
heart from any cause. And as for treat
ment, it seems to me that the less heroic
it is the better. Extra warmth, rest of
the whole system, the mildest of aperi-
ents and abstinence in diet will be fonnd,
as rule, effectual and safe.

Clever Escape From a Paris Jail.

An escape has been made from the
Mazas Jail in Paris under most extraor-
ding circumstances. A prisoner named
Altmayer, belonging to a well-to-d
Jewish family, who was undergoing
term of imprisonment for embezzling
sum of $40. 1000 from a Paris banker,
forged in his cell letter of dismissal,
and obtained his liberty by showing it to
the warders and hall porter. 1t is sup
posed that while he was being examined
in Juge d'Instruction's Office he con-
trived, while the Judges back was
turned, to stamp aud ma k a sheet of
writing paper. In his cell he initiated
with marvellous skill the magistrates
handwriting, which he had leisure to
study during his confinement of two
months and half. The letter was an
order, signed by the Judge in the name
of the procurator, to set free the prisoner.
He inclosed this in an official envelope,
stolen, no doubt, from the Judges Office,
and on leaving this before entering the
van he handed it to his warder. with
request to take it to the prison director.
Arrived at Mazas the prisoner, after re-
naming for five minutes with the other
few inmates, was called up and sent away
free

There is sexton in West Springfield,
Mass, who deserves notice because he
knows the value OF ventilation and how
to secure it, The other evening, when
the prayer meeting room was well filed
and tie air became bad, he waited for a
pause in the services, and then said if
the congregation would all arise for a
few moments he would ventilate the
room. They arose, and he opened win
dows and doors, let bad air out and good
air in, and then the congregation sat
down, feeling better, and the services
went on briskly.

DEATH.

Oh Death, the Consecratort
Nothing so sanctifes a name,
As to be written--deadi
Nothing so wins life from blame,
So covers It from wrath and shame,
As does the burial bed.
oh Death, the Revelatori
Our deepest passions never move,
Till thou hast bid them wake,
We know not half how much we love,
Till all below and all above,
Is shrouded for our sake.
Oh Death, the great Peacemakeri
II eninity have come between,
There's naught like death to heal it.
And If we love, oh priceless pain,
Oh bitter-sweet, when love is vain,
There's naught like death 70 seal it

They have very effective way of re-
cruiting the army in Mexico. A colonel,
being short of men, sent fifty troopers
into Sonora town, and they ran down
thirty or forty citizens, locked them up
on bogus charge of drunkenness, and
had them sentenced" to serve in the
army for one year. Ali this took less
than half day, but there was more or
less fun while it lasted.
